Morning by Morning, January 26 - Via con Dios! -- Go with God!
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me start my day well -- grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit -- to walk with You closely through every moment set before me. ...
“These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: ‘Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:5-8 NKJV).
Just as You sent out Your first disciples, You are still sending out Your disciples today. As You are, so are we to be in our world (1 John 4:17). By the grace of God and in the plan of God, the same Spirit that raised You from the dead lives in us (Romans 8:11). The same Spirit that moves in the power of God to proclaim the Gospel, to heal the sick, to cast out demons, to bring forth the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, lives in us. We are “the body of Christ” in our world (1 Corinthians 12:27), “filled with the Spirit” of Christ to minister the power and the love of God in our world (Ephesians 5:18; Acts 1:8).
Like those first disciples, You gave them boundaries and instructions for their assignment. You encouraged them and empowered them for their assignment as You sent them. When You told them where to go and what to do “As you go,” they knew they went with God and God went with them.
As I write this, I think of the Spanish blessing, “Via con Dios” -- “Go with God.
In the morning, my wife and I will “Go with God” on our assignment to Morelia, Mexico for two weeks of ministry there. You’ve given us our boundaries and our instructions for this assignment. And the assignment hasn’t changed -- proclaim the coming of the kingdom of God and see You demonstrate the coming of Your kingdom through the power and the love of God everywhere you send us. Heal the sick; cast out demons. Lift up the name of Jesus. See the glory of God made manifest here on earth as it is in heaven. As we go, we know we go with God! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
My friend, may you you know you go with God on your assignment today, grounded in His Word and filled with His Spirit, to proclaim His Gospel with your life everywhere He sends you -- whether in person or in prayer, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
